Spider veins can be frustrating, affecting both appearance and comfort. While they may seem like a cosmetic concern, they often indicate insuficiencia venosa crónica. One of the most effective treatments for spider veins is sclerotherapy, a simple, minimally invasive procedure performed by vein specialists.
What Are Spider Vein Injections?
Spider vein injections, also known as sclerotherapy, involve injecting a special solution called a sclerosant into the affected veins. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. The treatment is safe, requires no downtime, and is effective for small—to medium-sized spider veins.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins develop due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), where weakened vein valves allow blood to pool. Contributing factors include:
-
Prolonged sitting or standing – Increased pressure weakens veins.
-
Genetics – Family history plays a major role.
-
Pregnancy and hormonal changes – Affect vein elasticity.
-
Obesity – Extra weight puts strain on veins.
-
Blood clots or trauma – Prior vein damage increases risk.
Symptoms and Consequences of Spider Veins
Spider veins may seem harmless at first, but they can lead to:
-
Aching and heaviness in the legs.
-
Swelling and itching around the affected veins.
-
Discoloration and skin irritation.
Since spider veins signal underlying vein disease, treating them early can prevent varicose veins and further complications.
